royalrumpus Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Jack Bruce: Cream will not reform "I'm doing something very exciting - so much so I can't even talk about it," he said. "It's the most exciting project I've ever been involved in." Maybe a secret project with Jimmy Page???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dawg Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Sounds like a 'Cream' dream won't materialize. Stay dry my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzepfan Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 or maybe he's going to do the Wall Tour with Roger Waters? or Daltrey is looking for someone to play with also... but I'd rather see him with Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigzepfan Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I remember when this came out. He later apologized, claimed he was drinking. Jimmy sat next to him at an awards show after that as well...and what a great way to hide a possible collaboration until the last minute. I know I'm stretching but what else do I have??

mellowinman Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I always liked Cream, but Zeppelin had a lot more influence on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reids Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Who knows? Jack Bruce Roger Daltrey Jimmy Page (that would be some kind of supergroup, eh?) R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingzepp Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 This WILL NOT happen. Jack Bruce hates LZ related things & Daltrey cant carry a tune with his worn out vocals. Also, neither one of them can stand next to Jimmy as a musician anyway. Jimmy is too good for these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripmender Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 So then: what could old wine-face's really exciting project be? I'd guess at six months in rehab, concurrent with a triple facelift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazedcat Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 You kids realize without Cream there would never have been a Zeppelin. I mean, you folks DO realize this, yes? Bruce and Page would make for an epic collaboration, regardless if it was just a lone studio album or whatever else. I hope they actually do something together.

rAwfodog Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 No i doubt it , I don't want it to happen anyway. I think I read something somewhere that one of the cream members were talking shit about Zeppelin. They were obviously jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom kid Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Also..............FUCK CREAM You sir, are a douche. Cream was an awesome band if you are talking in purely music terms. The influence they had on the '70s music scene (Zeppelin included) is undeniable. I'm pretty sure Ginger Baker was a big influence on Bonzo as well, I remember reading something about it but I can't be bothered digging it up now. They pretty much forged the way for other 'super-groups', of which a certain member of Led Zeppelin is now in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As characters I think they're somewhat petty and small, particularly Bruce and Baker. Bruce sniffs that JPJ is "just" a session guy, and he should know better. His recent diatribe about Page not being on par with Clapton is ridiculous and unnecessary too. If you're great and you know it, there's no need for that crap. One of the things that makes Page so cool is his willingness to give credit where it's due as far as other musicians are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree with your sentiments about Bruce and Baker. I never did say that I liked the members (specifically those two). Jack Bruce just gives off a vibe of maybe being a wee bit jealous of Zeppelin. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripmender Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Yes jimmy page is great i am a big jimmy page fan but theres so many better guitar player than him """Steve howe of yes paco de lucia etc... So what. Technical proficiency is overrated. Steve Howe, for example, is a soulless pedant, who wouldn't know how to ROCK if you stuffed his ass with jalapenos. And I would personally prefer to listen to a poorly recorded bootleg of Johnny Thunders on an extremely off night than anything Vai, Satriani etc ever produced. Moreover, I don't think even ol' Stumblefingers himself would ever have claimed (or wanted) to be 'The Best Guitarist In The World'. In terms of technical proficiency, there are probably thousands of kids shredding away in their bedrooms right now, laughing at all JP's mistakes. However, the bedroom is exactly where they will stay. On the other hand, when it comes to song- and riff-writing, expressive and emotive soloing and production/arranging, JP is and will remain unsurpassed.

Well, I'm not a kid and I love Cream, but I don't "realize" this. I was around at the time, and I could have sworn that the two bands evolved quite separately, even if they obviously had some common influences (as did most bands at the time). Jimmy Page's musical background wasn't dependent on Cream at all--I'm having a hard time seeing why you think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't really find how CREAM really influenced Led Zeppelin at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Cream was the first band that played with massive volume. They were the first to take the blues structure to someplace else entirely different. They were the first rock band to improvise on stage. No you'd never confuse them with John Coltrane or any other great jazz group of that era, but they stretched out their studio tunes and nobody else was doing that before them. Don't take my word for it, do the research yourself. Audiences sat and listened. Cream created "rock music". Listen to "As You Said" from Wheels of Fire and convince me Jimmy Page didn't get influenced by the raga folk element of that particular tune. Sorry, I realize fandom has no end but I stand by my original statement about Cream. I'm not talking about the Beatles or the Rolling Stones or even The Who, all of that was something different. I'm specifically referring to what was termed "heavy" music which turned into "hard" rock which lasted for well over a decade or more. Cream was the blueprint, everybody else followed. This doesn't mean Zeppelin wasn't any good either, they surely were. But they didn't just fall out of the sky. I never met Jack Bruce or Ginger Baker so I don't know how they are as people. I'm not sure I care either. They were brilliant and ground breaking and that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
